Hey y'all!
I was wondering which century would you consider the most influential past the Xth?
I restricted to the last ten centuries to make it easier to answer.
What I mean by most influential is the century that changed the face of the Earth the most and had the biggest impact on the course of human history.
I would argue it's the XVIth century with the intrusion of Europeans in the Indian Ocean and the Americas and completely disrupting any pre-existing network. It changed the face of the Indian Ocean, brought richess to Europe beyond dreams, not even mentioning the effects on the Americas...
I'm curious to read your thoughts!
